In this Chapter Foyle goes to Presteign's party under a fake name where he ends up getting caught because finally after a few chapters, Jisbella McQueen comes back. She had married Dagenham and loved him very much because he actually captured her and cared for her. She than ratted Foyle out because he left her when he was up in space. The neatest part is that Foyle falls in love with Presteign's albino daughter, Lady Olivia and they kiss. I am very curious to see what ends up happening with them (: -Marissa Kosko-Blyler
I agree with Marissa. I am very interested in seeing what will happen between Gully and Lady Olivia because Lady Olivia is Presteign's daughter and Presteign has been trying to get informaiton out of Gully for a long time so if her father finds out that Fourmyle of Ceres is Gully Foyle and that he is interested in his daughter he won't be very happy - Mara Hesley
I am not shocked about Gully and Olivia falling in love. I agree with Mara and Marissa though and seeing what happens, whether Gully still wants revenge on Vorga or not... -Kelsey Baker
I can't believe Gully just falls in love with Presteign's daughter after meeting her for like what two minutes? she seemed nasty and rude to me but for some reason he found that attractive. i don't understand how Jiz is just suddenly in love with Dagenham even though she said she hates him so much and that she was in love with Gully. although if I was Jiz i would have done alot more to Gully than what she did, if he would leave me behind i would have done something far worse than just ratting him out so i don't blame her at all for telling Dagenham about Gully. Gully didn't even apologize to Jiz when he saw her alive. i'm not sure i like Gully very much at all he is out of control-Cheyenne
okay, i didn't read any of that in this chapter? You guys are confusing me now. I thought the whole chapter was just foyle talking to yang at the spanish stairs? - Haley Kline
I agree with Marissa as well. It'll be interesting to see how it goes between Olivia and Gully, but if I had to speculate, I'd say Olivia is going to somehow screw over Gully by the end, as he did to Jiz when they were in space.-Tim Galbraith
Pg. 143 " we're got two hours to rip Forestt open. D'you know that co-ordinates of the Aussie Cannery? The company town?" I think they are going a little crazy with saying they have two hours to rip someone up. It just isnt right. - Jess Koch
Pg. 155: "His image stood before him, silent, ominous, face burning blood-red, clothes flaming." Just by the images showing up everytime Gully is the cause of someone dying because he makes them nervous enough to commit suicide, he is getting hints, i think, that he is becoming the devil with his actions. That is why his image stands with the burning clothes (hell is a fire pit) and its face burning a blood-red (the color of the devil). - Joel Redfoot
I definitely agree with Joel on this. Gully is a very intimidated person and makes people like Forrest lose their minds.
Pg. 160: "The Burning Man! Look! The Burning Man!" Gully's Hell-image appears as he gets the snot beaten out of him by Y'ang-Yeovil and his men. It all sums up the fact that Gully is the living image of the Devil. - Joel Redfoot
Response: Is it really Gully's Hell-image? It doesn't seem like it could be a Hell-image of Gully, because it only just started to follow him and appear. Something like that would probably have followed Gully around his whole life, especially if it really was an image of him burning in Hell. - Christian Graham
Uhm Christian, I am not completely sure. Something we all know is that he gets like that when he has killed someone or is being nasty or mean. I think that everyone is making a big deal out of it so I feel like that we will all find out as the story goes on because it is a big part of the story and Gully.- Marissa-Kosko-Blyler
The flaming image of Gully is very interesting to me. I'm not sure if its an image of Gully burning in Hell or if it has some other significance. It seems very plausible that it could be his conscience because it usually appears as one of his leads has died. But then again, when Gully is in trouble on the Spanish Stairs, his flaming image appears just in time to save him. Maybe this image is trying to help Gully in some way or perhaps teach him something. It will be interesting to see when and how many other times this image appears. - Danielle Heininger
I agree with Danielle on this one. Just thinking about the image of Gully flaming opens up a whole new perspective of his character. It could either be that Gully is just now starting to become an evil figure, or has had this all along and is just now showing it and accepting it. - Tyler Slippy
I'm starting to think that Gully really is a anti-christ type figure. He's been seeing this flaming figure of his throughout these chapters, and later on, he starts to embrace it. But I also want to say that Christian definitely has a point by wondering if the figures been around all his life. Interesting, like it's his conscience and it's appearing because he's destroying it.-Tim Galbraith
Pg. 158: "'Signore' Y'ang-Yeovil wheezed. 'Angelo Poggi?' 'Si, signore. I am Angelo Poggi.'" I got kind of mixed up here. Is Y'ang-Yeovil pretending to be Angelo Poggi? Or is that just a name he created for himself just like Gully goes by Fourmyle? -Casey Pipetti
Pg. 156: The Spanish Stairs were destroyed in the fission wars of the late twentieth century. They were rebuilt and destroyed again in the war of the World Restoration in the twenty-first century. Does anyone else think that it is ironic that the Spanish Stairs were destroyed again in a war about restoring the world. I just thought it was kind of ironic.
Pg. 180: "Ah, now you've lost me. Forever. Now I'll destroy you!" I think that Jisbella later on will turn Gully over to the bad side. I also think that this will have an affect later on in the novel.
-*Aaron Gromiller*
Pg. 180: "I need a Romance Secretary. I'm in love with Olivia Presteign. 'You're in love with her? Olivia Presteign? In love with that corpse!"" I think Jiz is jealous that Gully is in love with someone else. I doubt he actually is in love with her, maybe he wants to get back at her for some reason?
- *Aaron Gromiller*
"Double your jaunt, or double your money back" the slogan of Dr. Orel. this slogan confused me. I understand the double your jaunting part (jaunt more obviously) but the double your money back part kind've confused me.... if you had to choose either double or jaunting or double your money, wouldnt most people want to double their money? the way it's phrased makes it sound like doubling your money is a bad thing. anyone care to explain what they think this slogan means? -Janelle Meadows
Pg. 155: "His image stood before him, silent, ominous, face burning blood-red, clothes flaming." Foyle sees himself for the second time, an image that is him buring in hell. For eac hof the wrong doings he does he sees himself like its going to be him in the future. Something awful and completely evil. Also this chapter doesnt mention that Foyle falls in love with Presteigns daughter at all and that confused me so that couldnt have happened yet. Foyle's burning image is like a reflection of him possibly as the devil. Obviously this is a very big symbol.-Mindy Hayton
Pg. 145 " Did you ever stop to think what swearing is?" Robin asked quietly. "You say 'Jesus' and 'Jesus Christ.' Do you know what that is?"
"Just swearing, that's all. Like 'ouch' or 'damn.'"
"No it's religion. You don't know it, but there are two thousand years of meaning behind words like that." I think it's all coming into place about this book being about religion in a way. This give more of a hint about it now though. - Jess Koch
Pg.157: Why does Foyle want to know were Angelo Poggi? I do not get how her named just appeared out of nowhere.- Katelyn Broughton
After finding Angelo Poggi, Gully and Robin go to him. They start talking to him, when Robin finds out that the guy they are talking to isnt Italian. They discover its Y'ang-Yeovil, and they get high-jacked by all his men. Gully starts to fight them off when all of a sudden this thing appears. Its Gully but ingulfed in fire. It distractes all of Y'ang-Yeovil men, for Gully and Robin to get away. After they get away, Y'ang-Yeovil and his men, are all amazed by this thing, and dont know what to do.-Erica Keim
Pg. 161: "But where is he? What's he up to? What's it all mean?" It's obvious when you think about this but interesting, but this line really echos the reader's mind when reading this book or any book for that matter. It kind of seems like the author is acknowledging reader habits through the story's universe. It also tends to foreshadow an even deeper conspiracy that may lay more into the story.-Tim Galbraith
Pg 160: "The Burning Man! Look! The Burning Man!" i found the way this was written interesting. it seems as though Y'and-Yeovil and his men were anticipating, or atleast familiar with a burning man. I assume this because they say the burning man as opposed to a burning man. The man also capitalizes "burning" and "man" which i found interesting almost as though the there is someone that is known as "The Burning Man." ~nicole dengler
In my opinion, I believed that this is the most epic and interesting chapter of the book up this point. Gully is a very smart person and is very crazy also. Sam Ellis
Yeah, same here Sam. I think this chapter is the one that is going to make me want to actually continue reading and will really add on to the suspense of the story and make things all come together. -Marissa Kosko-Blyler
Pg. 152. - "Society was delighted with the deception. The naked body, shameful in humans, was merely a sexless curiosity in androids. At midnight, Fourmyle auctioned off the android to the gentlemen of the ball." Okay, so I'm sort of taking offense to this. Yes, an android is like a robot designed to look and act like a human. But here, it's a woman android. It's being auctioned off the the gentlemen. I think that's still a bit rude for other woman though. It may not be a real woman, but it shows what a real woman would technically be treated as. A cheap piece sold for money.. How rude. - Kaylee Goldsworthy =]
Pg. 158 " Why are you interested in Vorga and Nomad and this shocking abundance in space? Were you, perhaps, the unfortunate who was so cruelly treated?" - So, now we know that they left someone in space on Nomad, i wasn't sure that maybe they passed him up and didn't know he was there. - Victor Lemus.
Chapter is to me the most important chapter in the book. It could be looked at as the major turning point of the story because he falls in love with Olivia Presteign and this could open up many new things to happen. - Tyler Slippy
I agree with Marissa. I am very interested in seeing what will happen between Gully and Lady Olivia because Lady Olivia is Presteign's daughter and Presteign has been trying to get informaiton out of Gully for a long time so if her father finds out that Fourmyle of Ceres is Gully Foyle and that he is interested in his daughter he won't be very happy - Mara Hesley
